    This would be an easy journal entry:-

    Depreciation Account 102,500
    Provision for Depreciation of Asset 102,500

    Being Depreciation calculation for the first year on the equipment.

    Note: - you would need to repeat this entry for the next three years.

    in SLM you could calculate depreciation by using this formula:
    Dep = (Assets Value - Salvage Value)/life time
    Dep = (410000 - 0)/4 = 102500 annually

    We certainly agree, which is a good thing.
